ABOUT

Who I am

I'm a Lead Developer at PrestaShop, where I've spent 7+ years contributing to and leading the open-source core team. My work spans API design, Symfony migrations, CQRS architecture, and CI/CD pipelines. I love tackling hard problems, mentoring developers, and building systems that thousands of merchants rely on every day. Beyond the code, I'm a conference speaker, open-source contributor, and advocate for quality engineering practices.
